Justin Lacini

Justin Lacini is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. His work focuses on advanced topics in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, including singularities, syzygies, and logarithmic geometry. Recent research emphasizes log del Pezzo surfaces, Fujita’s conjecture, and pluricanonical maps in positive characteristic settings.

His publications from 2022 to 2025 highlight explorations into vanishing theorems, boundedness of fibers, and essential dimension in algebraic structures. While no formal academic awards are cited, his contributions to algebraic geometry and arithmetic geometry reflect a deep engagement with foundational problems in these fields. He currently holds no listed grants or advising roles, though his research aligns with broader efforts in birational geometry and minimal model programs.

Lacini’s work often bridges theoretical frameworks with computational approaches, particularly in analyzing projective varieties and their properties under varying characteristics. His office is located in Fine Hall at Princeton, and he can be reached via jlacini@princeton.edu.
